makes for not much reading and more than enough exhaustion. After a weekend dominated by a family wedding (OSU-themed, to be precise), and punctuated with a Saturday morning viewing of The Dark Knight, a Friday visit by the parents, a Sunday brunch at my uncle's house, and a Sunday concert, I'm pooped and about to pass out. So no reading tonight. As sad as I am to leave Bringing Home the Birkin, I've moved on to a book listed under Tonello's favorites on goodreads.com, Don't Get Too Comfortable. In a nutshell, it takes a look at the excesses of American culture. A short read, it's a well-written and well-constructed critique of some of the more ridiculous aspects of what we believe to be "normal" in our contemporary world life. I should finish it within the next few days, and then I'll have some more coherent thoughts about the work.
Now I'm off to watch my new obsession, HBO's In Treatment, which is a fantastically written and acted look at several patients in their sessions with a therapist. If you have HBO or On Demand, you should take a closer look. Seriously.
